Bobbeh Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Nope, as most of my driving is done in rush hour its no fun at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 oh, im in rush hour too Bobbeh, but there is no 'rush' to it....no traffic at all in fact (bet i have jinxed that!) nice DCW for about 1 - 2 miles with lots of roundabouts to keep speed legal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Thats ok then, when the weather is nicer and traffic lighter I have been known to take the odd detour home, along the country lanes, much more enjoyable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 cool! this isnt so much a detour, as just not wanting to go home yet its like an A --> B journey Via Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzaGSi Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 All the time! I know exactly what you mean. I am the most spotted member on my local cruise site as when Im not at work I am out in the car. I dont think I can nail it down to one thing about the car either, like the sound or looks, everything is just incredible and luv the attension it gets. I am racking the mileage up on the car, expensive fuel bill, a mother moaning because of the costs etc but down to every last penny and argumnent it is worth it. I could not be without my supe and dont think I could for afew years to come yet either. Had it nearly a year and still feel the same where ever I drive it and it always without fail gets the second look over the shoulder when you've parked up. Supras, Awesome. Fact.

RedM Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 To answer the main question though. No, I drive straight home. Takes nearly an hour to do 17 miles so just cannot be arsed to go any longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 Absolutely....unless Ive worked really late. Choice of routes home, most amazingly quiet considering how busy the shortest main route is. More so in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
